any particular cutters? i dont necessarily need themwired. thanks!!
you don't really need cutters. take a pea size piece of gumpaste. make it into a teardrop shape. use your tool to indent the center of the large end. Make 5 cuts (I think it has 5 petals) with an exacto knife. use your fingers to round the ends and then flatten. Then use your tools to thin each blossom. I use an all purpose veiner to give each texture, run the tool around again on the edge of each petal, then dip a 30 gauge wire that has been bent at the end into egg white and run it through the flower from the top down, working the gumpaste into the wire at the bottom. Then insert stamens. OR - you can use yellow thread attached to the wire. after it dries, I color the base apple green and tip the edges of each petal in pink.
You can use your 5 point star tool to mark the paste so you have even sizes all around.
